My understanding is the 'dog' reputation of the 180mm f2.8 comes 
about from a tendency to produce purplish halos around stars when 
used for astronomical purposes.  I have also seen comments which 
imply it is a nice lens when used terrestially.  The 300mm f4.5 is a 
very fine lens - at least in MC guise (don't know about SC versions). 
 I can not recall seeing anything other than complimentary comments 
on this lens. I find it sharp, contrasty with a pleasing bokeh.
